See How Brightspace Supports UTEP

This short walkthrough highlights how D2L Brightspace supports UTEP’s institutional priorities.

We were on Blackboard Learn for over 25 years, and our use was pretty inconsistent. [The] platform was not so modern, and we weren’t really innovating on it, as much so as you can imagine [we were] getting a lot of noise around the need for a new LMS.
Ashley Smith USC Associate Chief Information Officer, Application Services

 

D2L Brightspace just makes interactive, engaging content possible. Before we just didn’t have the tools to do it. Now we do. And now we have endless possibilities about creating content that is relevant, engaging, coherent, and research based.
